I worked in student services for a work study and you'd be surprised at what babies students have become. We had one grad student who was yelled at by a teacher for not doing any work, send his mom in. She was some idiotic corporate slob who thought her kid was entitled to everything, it was nice to work under people who wouldn't accomodate her, and when she realized she'd have to pay another semester and tuition and there was really no getting around she said she was taking her kid out of the school. Ummm, he's like 26, perhaps he should make that decision himself... Other hilarious complaints were one girl who thought the dorms should be stocked with shampoo, and soap, and have a maid because "she was paying so much for them" ( she literally wanted someone to come pick up her room) and one especially special snowflake who thought that all of the tests she took needed to be reformatted to fit a learning disability she never even clarified or told anyone about. She literally wanted every question to be printed in different colored ink, and wanted to retake all the tests she failed. She left in tears, and sent her big ( dude was actually big Armenian guy ) brother to come and try to intimidate everyone. We didn't even let him in the door. Being a student at the same time really opened my eyes to just how awful a lot of teachers and admin people have it when it comes to problem students. Honestly, the 5% of cry babies probably take up half of everyone's time. Just kick them out, and make it better for everyone else.

We demand that University of Missouri System President, Tim Wolfe, writes a hand-written apology to Concerned Student 1-9-5-0 demonstrators and holds a press conference in the Mizzou Student Center reading the letter. In the letter and at the press conference, Tim Wolfe must acknowledge his white privilege, recognize that systems of oppression exits, and provide a verbal commitment to fulfilling Concerned Student 1-9-5-0 demands. We want Tim Wolfe to admits his gross negligence, allowing his driver to hit one of the demonstrators, consenting to the physical violence of bystanders, and lastly refusing to intervene when Columbia Police Department used excessive force with demonstrators.

We demand the immediate removal of Tim Wolfe as UM system president. After his removal, a new amendment to thd UM system policies must be established to have all future UM system president and Chancellor positions be selected by a collective of students, staff, and faculty of diverse backgrounds.

We demand that the University of Missouri meets the Legion of Black Collegians’ demands that were presented in the 1969 for the betterment of the black community.

We demand that the University of Missouri creates and enforces comprehensive racial awareness and inclusion curriculum throughout all campus departments and units, mandatory for all students, faculty, staff and administration. This curriculum must be vetted, maintained, and overseen by a board comprised of students, staff and faculty of color.

We demand that by the academic year 2017-18, the University of Missouri increases the percentage of black faculty and staff members campus-wide by 10 percent.

We demand that the University of Missouri composes a strategic 10-year plan on May, 1 2016 that will increase retention rates for marginalized students, sustain diversity curriculum and training, and promote a more safe and inclusive campus.

We demand that the University of Missouri increases funding and resources for the University of Missouri Counseling Center for the purpose of hiring additional mental health professionals, particularly those of color, boosting mental health outreach and programming across campus, increasing campus-wide awareness and visibility of the counseling center, and reducing lengthy wait times for prospective clients.

We demand that the University of Missouri increases funding, resources and personnel for the social justice centers on campus for the purpose of hiring additional professionals, particularly those of color, boosting outreach and programming across campus and increasing campus-wide awareness and visibility.

It's bad for Trump because he can't even come through on his campaign "policies". Seriously, without these vacant platitudes there's literally nothing left of his campaign. Someone tell me an issue that he ran on. Anyone?

White women are already more likely to graduate both high school, and university. Without being to "hurr hurr Redpill die feminists!" I do find it interesting that white men are doing worse and worse every year. In the UK, white pupils in high school are the least likely to continue on to university. There's also some interesting evidence which shows that white, childless women are likely to earn more than men which points to the fact that having babies is extremely detrimental to women's earning potential. I also read an article which I can't find now which talked about how poor white men (white trash) are marginalised, cariacatured, and often as unlikely to suceed as poor black men. I know many here hate when class is brought up as a parallel to the race issue in the US, but when you start digging into the data you see a lot of (admittedly correlative evidence) similar incarceration rates. For instance, blacks are nearly twice as likely to be shot by police, but more than twice as many whites are killed by police every year. When adjusted for the class of those shot we see the numbers converging. I think this lends some credence to the idea that class is, at the very least, an extremely important factor as it relates to the racial issues in the US.

It's also quite effective at getting people through the opiate withdrawl. Of course, according to the government marijuana is actually more risky, and has less benefits than Opiates. Since it is schedule I, while opiates are schedule II.

My favorite 4d chess move conspiracy theory is that he's just saying he's not going to press charges, so the media makes fun of him for not pressing charges, and then when he does press charges he'll talk about how he was attacked previously for not pressing charges.

It's not necessarily smart though. It's an old recipe. Not a new one. People just thought certain things were off limits in politics. Trump pushed them hard, and used the oldest tricks in the book to rile up anger and division. It shouldn't surprise anyone that he's appointed known white supremacists to the highest positions in the US now. He wants the division, and anger. Kind of like how Putin funds the organisations against him.

Czech Republic here. I think we ended up taking like 4500 before the attacks. I imagine that number will drop. In Slovakia they asked for only Christian refugees, which previously seemed insane, but will probably become more common. The general public is extremely dubious, and I ( as someone who would support the refugees in most ways) honestly don't understand how they could even integrate here in any way. And that's not to say I don't think they should take some. It's just that there really is no community for them here like in France or Germany. There was a resort where a bunch of Saudis went to here, and a prominent national politician and the local community organized to walk their pitbulls through the parks where these people were in order to intimidate them. It's stupid, but it's the reality. If you move here there will be a huge pushback because even Christianity is seen as a sect, and believers as superstitious. If somebody was asking for special accommodation because he's a muslim he better work for an international company because otherwise he'd be laughed at. There's a reason why they're passing through these countries on their way to Germany. So sorry to be so pessimistic, but the general feeling before the attack was "Don't let them in" and now it's "See why we said don't let them in!"

They'll slam the door closed on all of them. And they're barely taking any. I don't expect much else from other central and eastern european countries.

I think a contributing factor is the right's proclivity towards authoritarian leaders. And this is something which has, and continues to happen all over the world. It's just that many thought Americans were somehow more advanced than the rest of the world and couldn't be tricked by populists with little substance other than sloganeering and a "return to law and order".

With that being said. I've been saying it for years that the left has a real problem with addressing social concerns in the US. Without sounding too "hurr durr SJW campus invasion"! There is a dismissal of a lot of white identity politics, and a labeling of those who question typical academic discussions on the left as a racist. Trump capitalized on this sentiment, and checkmated the Dems by scapegoating "the other" (Immigrants, refugees, black inner city youth) as the problem rather than a consequence of failed policy.

While it is politically incorrect to say, there's the belief that if you want anyone to become racist all they have to do is watch the nightly news. Many times crimes which stir emotions are perpetrated by young black men, and these stories are obviously covered more than more boring stories about corporate greed. So when Joe the Plumber sees a black man involved in a shooting or a home invasion every night, and the left seemingly silent on the issue, and Trump finally shines light on what everyone else is afraid to talk about you get what we have now. This is highlighted by Clinton II's comments about "superpredators". They simply don't know how to talk about the issue without backtracking.

Trump (since who knows if he listens to any of his advisors) is probably expecting this. I don't think he'll call her a bitch at the debates, but I do think he'll play the oval office blowjob card to try and throw Hillary off her game. He's going to frame her as being an enabler of a serial sexual harrasser and try to muddy the debate on who is the "real" candidate who supports women. Attack your opponent for your own weaknesses.

I'm currently interviewing at various grad schools. And just a few days ago I was told to play up the fact that I'm a dual citizen. I'm guessing this is because as a white male from bumfuck USA I wouldn't be seen as much, but since I'm a dual citizen I do have more opportunities. I even spoke with one person a few months ago about financial assistance, and they also said that I should apply as an international student. Even though I'm American.
